1st April’s Fire at Bintawa

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on 1st April’s Fire at Bintawa

Heard fire engine siren at home around 7pm. Didn’t bother much about it. Not long after that, we went out for Kueh Chap at Bintawa. Bintawa is one of the oldest industrial areas in Kuching housing major factories, mills, warehouses and offices.


Left: When we almost reached the boat roundabout at Bintawa, we saw fire engulfing the box carton factory, the one just next to the police station. -.-” The fire was huge, the whole building were on fire, from front to back, everything! We stopped for a while to have a look and I asked my bro to take pictures with his phone. I regretted that I didn’t bring my camera along! I would have clearer and better photos and videos to share.

Right: We went back there after dinner, went back to the scene and noticed the fire was spreading and the wind wasn’t helping. When we reached there, TC Motors’ (one building next to it) staffs were busy moving their trucks out of their compound but I doubt they could move all of them out because the trucks were huge and the road was small with a fire engine parked just few yards from its exit. The manager was busy salvaging the office’s documents.


Too bad, the back of the office and store of a coffee powder manufacturer caught fire too. The fire was getting bigger and bigger. TC Motor was at risk too. They were so near to each other, practically no fire breaker.

Decided not to stay there too long because the fire won’t be out any sooner. We left and saw many buildings’ owners of that area all rushed to the scene but couldn’t do anything. Even those located quite a distant from the fire scene also rushed to their premises to check on the condition whether they were at risk or not.

At the time I’m posting this, I don’t think the fire is out, it should be still raging. If not mistaken, I saw 4 or 5 fire engines.

Uploaded the videos too. Here’s the video links:

Uncle Lim Food Court

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Uncle Lim Food Court

Finally!! Another food post! I used to blog a lot about food but it seems like not that much anymore lately instead it has some what becoming a beauty blog! What to do? I do not eat out much these days. I have tonnes of beauty product posts in queue summore. Aikss… I think I’m going to to loss readers that come to my blog for food. OH NO!

Anyway, here comes another food post ;p

Went for dinner at Uncle Lim Food Court at Sekama the other night with my family. We used to tapao the kolo beehoon/mee, beef noodle/beehoon from here. It’s easy to located, roadside only. Just next to the inn there. Don’t remember the name of the inn hahaha…


Left: Beef noodle.
Right: Beef beehoon.

I won’t say theirs are the best but it’s not so bad.


Left: Tomato noodle(RM3.70), very sweet -.-” No tomato taste.
Right: Taugeh mee(RM2.70), very sweet too, don’t like it. I love taugeh mee a lot, the only noodle dish that I will eat without complaining of being full after few mouths ;p

There’s not much choices to make at night but they have many choices during the day time such as lunch. The place is always packed at noon. In fact the place has its name changed quite a number of times. The name now is the latest, obviously…

Cellnique Advanced Bio Renewal Masque

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on Cellnique Advanced Bio Renewal Masque

Remember the first Cellnique product I reviewed? It was the Cellnique Contour De-Puffy Jewel.

The second product that I tried from Cellnique was Cellnique Advanced Bio Renewal Masque. This 50g jar of masque costs RM159, the most expensive masque I ever tried. It’s an honour to be able to try it out.

I thought it’s blue in colour but when I opened it up, it’s grayish white. Then I smelt something… Soy sauce! Aiks… I sniffed it again, fruity smell. Then sniffed again, soy sauce! *LOL* Soy sauce-fruity-soy sauce-fruity-soy sauce…

The first time, I applied it on my face and the same smell greeted me, soy sauce-fruity-soy sauce-fruity-soy sauce… Very funny. Finally I figured out the fruity smell was actually pineapple smell. I suspected pineapple enzyme in there and I was correct! For the whole 10 minutes, I’m smelling soy sauce-fruity-soy sauce-fruity-soy sauce…

The grainy texture also serve as scrub. I’m using it once a week after cleansing my face. After 10 minutes, I wet it with some water and massage in circular motion before washing off the mask from my face. I was warned that it might have warm and tingling sensation at the cheek area and I really felt it for the whole 10 minutes the first time I used it but it’s not unpleasant, I quite enjoyed it ;p.

The second time I used it, the warm and tingling sensation only lasted for awhile. This time, no more soy sauce ;p maybe I got accustomed to the smell. The pineapple smell was so yummy, it made me hungry!

The following is from their own website:

BioCELL eL

Alpha Hydroxyl Acid
AHAs are known to have the ability to rejuvenate skin by exfoliating dead cells from the skin, this further causes the skin to grow new cells to replace the damaged cells. AHAs also helps in wrinkles and photo-aging.

Enzyme

  • Papaya enzyme + Bromelain from pineapple fruit extract
  • Bromelain, an enzyme derived from pineapple plant, Bromelain helps digest keratin protein and promote exfoliation effectively. Skin appears smooth and brightens after the dead skin cells being removed.
  • Papain, an enzyme derived from papaya, helps exfoliate damaged and dead skin cells to prevent clogged pores that can result in skin eruptions. It is able to whiten and soften the skin, heal wounds and prevent the subsequent development of pimples.

Full Ingredients List:
Purified Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Kaolin, Glycolic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, C12-20 Acid PEG-8 Ester, Polysorbate 20, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Papaya (Carica papaya) Enzyme (Papain), Phenoxyethanol, Trithanolamine, Caprylyl Glycol, Titanium Dioxide, Citric Acid, Pomelo (Citrus grandis) Peel Extract, Pineapple (Ananas sativus) Fruit Extract, Acrylate / C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Fragrance, Disodium EDTA, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, Potassium Sorbate.

I like the after feel. My skin looked and felt so smooth and clean.

My skin looked quite rough before the masque, then after that it looked so smooth. The after photo was actually slightly blurred so the skin looked so smooth but this was what I saw with naked eyes too.

The photo was taken with macro mode. Seeing my skin in macro gave me a chill -.-” all those pigmentations, blackheads, pores and so on really freak the hell out of me. Really cannot play play with this. I’m not young anymore! I really hope with constant use of this mask, my pigmentation will be in control.

Anyway, you notice the arrows? That’s one of the clogged pores and it was gone after the masque session.

I quite like this masque but the price is a bit steep as usual but I might be able to use it for quite long because I don’t have to use much. I estimated that if I used it once a week religiously, it might be able to last me a year or more. So… Price wise, maybe it’s not that expensive after all.

What I don’t like about it is that it doesn’t come with spatula, so it’s not that hygienic.

However, please take note if you have very sensitive skin. This product might not be suitable for you because it contains AHA.

Girl Stuffs, Review It!

Actually I have a post to post today but I did one very silly thing few days ago until the post cannot be posted. I saved the wrong photos for the post and have to redo. I spent so much time in filtering the photos but at the end I saved the wrong file and only realized it just now.

Instead of posting that post, I’m going to be very vain ;p Going to show you my camwhoring photos since I’ve been getting quite a number of requests and haven’t been posting much of my photos lately.

I’m going to post a series of my photos especially those with me having professional makeup done since I have quite a number of them from the contest I joined last year. Should do a collection of it. So this will be the first one.

Today, I’m posting the one from last year’s 1st photo shoot for tHe Spring Ambassador Hunt. Makeup was courtesy of Stage. It’s my first time using fake lashes too. These photos were taken 7 hours after the makeup was done.

Enjoy! I’m so vain!

Pizza Hut Cheesy Lava Dip

Posted on By sweet surrender 16 Comments on Pizza Hut Cheesy Lava Dip

We went for pizza dinner the other night at Pizza Hut, Jalan Song. It was such a lousy experience! No wonder so many people complained about this outlet.


We ordered Pizza Hut Cheesy Lava Dip and guess what? They didn’t tell us anything when we ordered. They didn’t tell us Revive was out of stock, they gave us Pepsi. Fine… It’s just soft drinks.

Then the soup was warm not hot. Very diluted too.

Next, the pizza, do you notice something missing? The lava dip!!! We asked them about it, they told us it’s out of stock. We’re paying for this “special” pizza, so it cost more yet we’re getting the “normal” pizza!


After that, this one… The breadstic. -.-” They just cut up the bread that they used for garlic bread and served it to us like that, so hideous! They didn’t say anything about it too. We took a peek at other tables and everyone suffered the same fate.

What kind of service is this? You should tell us when we ordered or at least offer some compensation rather than just kept quiet about it until we asked. Then, when we asked, you did not bother to provide any compensation especially the missing lava dip and it’s not cheap I tell you!

All I can say is that, avoid this outlet. Lousy one. The last time we were there, they had some of their stuffs out of stock also but that was years back. They didn’t improve until now. WOW! How “good” is that?
